Mountcharles is a village and townland in the south of County Donegal, Ireland. It lies 6 km from Donegal Town on the Killybegs road . It is situated in the civil parish of Inver and the historic barony of Banagh. The village's name is usually pronounced locally as 'Mount-char-liss'.
Before the Plantation of Ulster, the area from the present N56 to the sea, including modern day Salthill, was known as Tamhnach an tSalainn . This refers to the fields along the coast which flooded with seawater with the flow of the tide, as the water receded, salt remnants remained in the fields.
